Swedish - a trump card for the labor market

You have a chance to communicate with about 21 million Scandinavians in Swedish. In Finland, almost 300,000 people speak it as their mother tongue. The ability to communicate in Finland´s both native languages ​​is part of a university degree.

By speaking Swedish, you stand out in the labor market! In a bilingual area, Swedish is a prerequisite for state and municipal positions, but even everyday conversations in the client´s or partner´s mother tongue show your interest and motivation. And you can gain more from cruises and Solsidan in the original language!

Sweden is one of Finland´s three most important trading partners. In addition, Swedish skills open the door to the Nordic labor market.

Swedish is a logical and easy-to-speak language and it is a kindred language of English, which supports its learning.
